Sorry Rita my explaination was a little brief.
I am using Tomcat 4.0.4 on Debian with JDK 1.3.1 and will be upgrading
to JDK 1.4 soon.
I have searched the web for an answer on this but no one seems to have
posted any information regarding setting up a custom class loader in
Tomcat.
I have looked at the loader.html page on the jakarta site;
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/loader.html
And it explains how this should be done. However when I restart tomcat
it appears that my loader does not get executed. I have based this on
the fact that my execution code that includes writing to a file in the
constructor does not get executed.
I only get an error when I also include a class which extends
WebappLoader for the loader using the 'className' attribute in my
<Loader> tag.
Other than this Tomcat compiles and runs successfully, which makes me
wonder whether there is another way to test whether my ClassLoader is
being executed or not.
Thanks
